Either think of an alternative to replace the 'or' or just end the question without hinting at an alternative.

My MD is horrendous for this, and it's starting to rub off onto the other director. It's a pretty small office, so i see it quite frequently. It's not normally directed at me, but they say it down the phone constantly, and i could rip my hair out each time i hear it. (if it was long enough to grab hold of).

eg. "So are you going to be ready for this on Tuesday, or.....?"

does my nut.
anyone ever notice similar?

I do it.

"Do you want to leave a message or?" by which time the stressed out client is normally shouting at me. I'm only booking in contracts and doing office duties.

Now I say "He's not available, can I take a message?" straight away

winds me up when people pronounce the letter 'H', saying it as 'hay-ch'

the letter is H, if it was spelt it's.... 'Atch'


that was basic English taught in schools... but today it just makes me wonder!!



also getting sick of people writing a sentences and using the word AND after a commer.

AND is a word used instead of the comer.

Also starting a sentence with AND.

It's just wrong!!!!

you even see it in newspapers, they should know better.

I see what you mean, I'm so blunt and direct I am sure I get on some people's nerves though. People's habits are interesting though.

To a point, but adding a letter which isn't there at the start of the word doesn't depend on accent, it's definitely aitch, not haitch.

Brilliant! The pedants revolt Top man People who say hay-ch should be beaten until they stop, or burnt at the stake if they don't/won't.

It's actually a figure of speech And a shit one at that. And one he uses ALL the time. The inference seems to be that they've turned to face him and talk to him.

The fact is though, the majority of the time, the person he was talking to was on the bloody phone so he can't see them or, if in person they were already facing him AND didn't move anywhere, least of all around. He's such a c*nt. I fucking hate him. He's an ignorant, arrogant East end, ex-pat c*nt.

I'm also sick of white kids taling like Ali-G.


as well mainly those who are on eastenders, plus those that live and die watching eastender

eg: saying the word THINK, but actually saying it as FINK,
all their 'th' words turn into 'f' words. i know its an east end thing but so many are talking like it.

Winds me up. lol

I love the turn around one. She turned around and said this. If I'm able to, I ask whether they did actually turn around. I've seen it in stand up somewhere once. It's such a stupid expression.
